DROP IN. No Registration required. All are welcome!  Rosie & The Rivets perform an electrifying female fronted retrospective tribute to the first ten years (1954-1964) of Rock & Roll. Make no mistake, this is not your typical 'oldies playing oldies' band. Rosie & The Rivets are a high energy stage show that's fresh and fun for all ages. Audiences have a hard time staying in their seats and concerts often turn into dance parties!
